In details, starting from the UMI count matrix, the potential targets of the same transcription factor (TF) (gene regulatory networks) are identified based on co-expression using the GRNBoost algorithm and then potential direct-binding targets (regulons) are selected based on DNA-motif analysis (i.e., TF motif analysis). Finally, the network activity of regulons is computed in each individual cell and combined to obtain the average regulon activity by treatment group.
